About This Home
As of February 2025Nothing to do here but move your furniture! This meticulous in-town home has designer touches, modern conveniences and multi-generational possibilities with the added plus of a charming neighborhood setting. Prepare gourmet meals in the updated kitchen with attached butler's pantry and adjacent composite deck. Host Sunday afternoon football parties in the large lower-level family room. Create a garden oasis in the heated sunroom. With a total of 4/5 bedrooms on two levels, this home's configuration meets many different needs including space for in-laws or long-term visitors. They would even have their own private entrance! Prefer one floor living? An upstairs bedroom has been converted into an over-the-top laundry room. Keep it as such or revert to bedroom/office. Both bathrooms have been updated with luxury in mind. Upper bedrooms all have custom closet systems. The extra touches don't end there. Solid wood doors, designer hardware, and high-end Hunter Douglas shades make this a special home. And don't miss the 20x30 heated space below the garage that just awaits your imagination. Dance studio? Gym? Massive storage? Convenient location with town water/sewer and a sprinkler system to ensure easy outdoor maintenance. With a total usable square footage exceeding 3000 square feet, including below garage space and sunroom, this home is more than meets the eye!
